Racism: documented vs. accused 
Tuesday, July 20, 2010,
Having grown up, in the immortal words of Everclear, "a poor white boy in a black neighborhood", maybe I see racism a little differently than you white-guilt-riddled honkys.

In our society so beholden to political correctness, I am constantly amused at the racism game. Not liking our black President for his policies = racism. A Black Panther at a polling location on voting day, intimidating white voters assumed to be voting for a white candidate = not racism. A political movement whose stated purpose is lower taxes and smaller government = racism. A government program that discriminates against whites for the sake of blacks = not racism.

At the center of this newest racism game are 2 events: the much-reported but as-yet-undocumented racial slurs hurled at members of the Congressional Black Caucus by Tea Party members during the run-up to the vote on ObamaCare, and now the documented racism at the NAACP meeting that recently denounced the Tea party as racist.

The first event, where Nancy Pelosi walked through a crowd with a massive gavel in-hand and with members of the Congressional Black Caucus - in the midst of countless cell phone pictures and video cameras and new reporters - and not one racial slur or incident of spitting on the Congressmen (though they insist it happened) can be found. Contrast that with the imbecile working for the USDA who proudly boasted of her racism at the recent NAACP meeting (the same one that denounced the "racism" of the Tea Party), who felt she was talked down to by a farmer, so discriminated against him for his whiteness.

Mix in the video of voter intimidation on election day, and follow that up with a sprinkle of the Black Panther (who intimidated voters with a night stick) preaching to a mixed crowd that blacks needed to murder white babies - and bake it all up into a "all whites are racists, all blacks are the victims of racism" pie that Obama is all too willing to serve up to the nation.

There is no longer a "race card", it has now morphed into a banner, under which redistribution of wealth is The economic policy of this administration.

If only whites can be racist and all whites are racists, it's gonna get interesting around election time!

NOTHING is ever what it seems 
Friday, July 9, 2010,
The following story is in reverse chronological order. Enjoy.


11. Jennifer said, from the kindness of her heart, she'd bring me a cup, half filled, of KY personal lubricant.

10. Jennifer responded saying they sometimes, for performing ultrasound tests, use an application specific gel but also sometimes use KY (personal lubricant.)

9. I texted Jennifer, asking for some ultrasound gel, telling her an explanation would be forthcoming from her husband.

8. A good friend's wife, we'll call her "Jennifer," is an OB/GYN (and a good one, I hear, but as I have no experience with...never mind), I figured she has a near-limitless supply of ultrasound gel. Score!

7. Due to some knowledge of chemistry, I decided to use a non-corrosive coolant (no beer, no pee, preferably no water.) Based on several factors, I chose CPL in some environments and ultrasound gel in other applications.

6. Consideration must be given to variables such as messiness, smell, and efficiency.

5. Due to baffle stack construction and housing material, one must weigh the advantages and disadvantages of a given coolant according to what is and is not acceptable,

4. Recommended coolants range from simple (water, beer, urine, etc) to more complex (wire pulling gel or ultrasound gel) to purpose-specific (gun grease, CLP, etc.)

3. To offset this initial pop (and to increase the suppression level), some users recommend using a coolant in the baffle stack. By using a liquid or gel coolant, the temperature of the gases are drastically reduced due to evaporative cooling.

2. When deploying suppressed weapons, some applications experience a pop with initial rounds, due to the rapid heating of ambient gases in the suppressor causing a subsequent increase in gas pressure, resulting in a popping sound.

1. PV=nRT tells us that as gas temperature increases, gas pressure increases.

Tards on parade. Again.

Read this article, then contemplate:


1. "Facts are infinitely malleable in service of ideology." The point is made to service his argument, but works equally well for the counterargument.

2. "What with the Northeast sweating out a triple-digit heat wave, naive observers might expect a spate of global-warming stories in the media." These same "observers" were asked, during the recent cold winter, not to look on a cold front as proof for or evidence against global warming. A sweltering heat wave proves global warming just as a cold front proves global cooling.

3. "According to Lord Ernest Oxburgh, who led the investigation, the probe uncovered 'absolutely no evidence of any impropriety whatsoever.'" Big surprise. In the months to come, the same guy will probably uncover no evidence that BP had anything to do with a terribly over-stated (and as yet unproven) oil spill in the gulf - it too was (is) an orchestrated hoax by the right.

4. The underlying science is still in question; it isn't, as Gore and countless others tell us, "settled." By writing articles such as these that "assume" man-induced climate change, they slowly give more credibility to an argument that has little. Repeat a lie enough times and it becomes true.


I am constantly entertained by the "the science is settled" thing - and its being presented with no science. "An Inconvenient Truth" has been proven fully fiction, the scientific debate continues (and will continue till at least one environmental weather model can accurately characterize atmospheric water vapor - none can yet), and the many lies now being covered over become the next cry of McCarthyism (strangely accurate, since McCarthy was right.)


In the end, it doesn't matter. The day fast approaches when the earth as we know it will be no more. And, unless these "scientists" are re-writing botany too, plants love sun light and carbon dioxide.

NEVER! 
Friday, July 2, 2010,
Last night, as part of a procedural vote on the emergency war supplemental bill, House Democrats attached a document that "deemed as passed" a non-existent $1.12 trillion budget. The execution of the "deeming" document allows Democrats to start spending money for Fiscal Year 2011 without the pesky constraints of a budget.

The procedural vote passed 215-210 with no Republicans voting in favor and 38 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote against deeming the faux budget resolution passed.

Never before -- since the creation of the Congressional budget process -- has the House failed to pass a budget, failed to propose a budget then deemed the non-existent budget as passed as a means to avoid a direct, recorded vote on a budget, but still allow Congress to spend taxpayer money.




Is it racist to acknowledge that the first black US President is the worst President in US history? Jimmy has been supplanted!

When you have nothing substantive to say, say something stupid, most people won't notice

Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner's comment regarding the proposed financial reform bill now before Congress:


"This is killing an ant with a nuclear weapon,"




President Barack Hussein Obama's rebuttal:

Well, if the Republican leader is that out of touch with the struggles facing the American people, he should come here to Racine and ask people if they think the financial crisis was an ant . . . These Americans don't believe the financial crisis was an ant. They know that it's what led to the worst recession since the Great Depression. And they expect their leaders in Washington to do whatever it takes to make sure a crisis like this never happens again."



How do simple metaphor and simile so easily escape a Harvard-educated community organizer? Or, perhaps, their was no way to polish the turd, so Hussein instead went with misdirection.


Again, I stand in absolute astonishment that:
1. Half the nation voted for this ass clown.
2. Almost half still think what he is doing is good.


We are so unbelievably screwed.
